webbers back Tyre came off as he tried to leave the pits and it hit a camera man in the back and floored him! it looked painfull.

well another boring vettel win - title over already. shame everything happens to webber and not Horner's golden child!

Red Bull should be sued for that, could have kill the guy, in the video was clear that the car was realease before the guy putting the nut on cleared it.....

Helmets are mandatory in the pit-lane for all mechanics, but the cameraman was not wearing one.

What part of his back would a Helmet protect then ? He has broken ribs, a broken collar bone plus assorted cuts and bruises. No head injuries. The Helmets are actually intended to protect from burns rather than head injuries.

Incidentally he's an FOM Camera Man. I suspect that Bernie Ecclestone will ensure this chap is well looked after and it's not unknown for him to send his private jet to collect staff & team members injured at races.

Saw Jeremy chatting to Ron Howard about Rush on Sundays Top Gear.

Looks like a great film

Can not see anything other than a Vettel win today. Would love Lewis to win but not expecting it the way the Mercedes eats the rear tyres.

glad vettel didn't win but he's won the championship anyway personally i think the points system has ruined F1, too much of a big gap from 1st to 2nd, the old system was better back in the day it led to closer championships and more exciting now you can finish 4th and still extend your lead.

Good to see I can still curse people through my power of prediction. I now say Vettel will go on to win the championship
